Welcome to the Paris Hack-cave, complete with retractable roof.

MTF at the Pompidou

Here's how you can be there - and get involved

This weekend (21-23 November), musicians, hackers and visitors will turn IRCAM at the Centre Pompidou into a creative playground for experimentation with new music technologies and new ideas for music performance. 

Everything is allowed: hacking into existing controllers, collaborating with professional musicians, experimenting with new ideas in situ, impromptu jumping onto the stage. The Music Tech Fest “Gunk” (Geek Punk) ethos is all about being totally hands-on with technology, rough and ready with noise making, and experimental with the immediacy of self-expression. MTF does not encourage smoothing over cracks, fixing it in the mix, or autotuning. Nothing is a mistake and there are no rehearsals. But you can expect a few surprises... Entry is free - but places are limited.

Attend MTF Paris as an audience member

Get involved as a Music Hacker or Maker

Join the Women in Tech Ghack Web Audio Workshop

Highlights include:

Myriam Bleau / Ultrasonic / Mogees / Scanner / Ezra / Seaboard / Oscilla /Nagual Dance / Dualo / The Secret Life of Computers / Tangible Orchestra /Lossy + Strangers Are People Too... and many more.  See http://musictechfest.org for more details.

Music Tech Fest is the global Festival of Music Ideas. It's a free, weekend-long event that provides an experimental and improvisational space where ideas are showcased, performed, demonstrated and discussed. It's a place where musicians and hackers come together to collaborate and try things out. It's about sharing your idea with a community. It's a place where industry and academics, artists and technologists come together to both celebrate and invent the future of music.  The festival is possible thanks to IRCAM Forum, RS Components, Serato, Leap Motion, SPECIFI, YourFry, Sennheiser, Soundcloud and a wonderful team of talented and creative enthusiasts and contributors.

MTF Paris --> 21-23 November 2014

Music Tech Fest is the Festival of Music Ideas. It's an experimental and improvisational space where ideas are showcased, performed, demonstrated and discussed. It's a place where musicians and hackers come together to collaborate and try things out. It's about sharing your idea with a community. It's a place where industry and academics, artists and technologists come together to both celebrate and invent the future of music. 

As well as the main festival stage, we also run a 24-hour hack camp where our hackers are challenged to create new types of instruments, performance interfaces and musical experiences and all those get performed on stage on Sunday. RS Components are supplying Arduinos, Raspberri Pi-s etc for hackers to work with and also set some challenges (e.g. musical wearables for performance, musical stage environments etc). We have also been working with the Stephen Fry / Penguin Books ‘YourFry’ campaign and turning his audio recordings into music. All the hacks are going for the grand YourFry prize which is judged by Stephen Fry and Tim Berners-Lee.

At IRCAM, Centre Pompidou, the festival will feature some fantastic artists and innovators showcasing and performing their projects. We want to ensure all of the great ideas from IRCAM and the Paris music tech startup community are demoed / performed on stage. 

The festival is filmed and streamed live online to audiences in over 70 countries and all professionally edited videos of presentations are made available for sharing and embedding. 

Schedule:

Friday, 21st:   6 PM - 10 PM Saturday, 22nd: 2 PM - 10 PM Sunday, 23rd:   4 PM - 10 PM 24 hours hackathon starts on saturday 2 PM
